Here ya go....Remember - with the adjustment capabilities of the arms - the lift can be postioned more fore or back by about a foot to accomodate access to certain areas...

Sweeeeeeeeeeeet! That is awesome Mark! This may be a purchase for me in the near future - I wonder if there is enough interest for a group purchase? Anyone?

I'm sure if we could figure out what company makes them we could probably get a container of 'em for well under $500 each. I'd be in at that price. Anyone here speak Chinese?

Mark, how close are those arm to crushing your fuel lines (looks close in the pic, but may be the angle)?
What are the ends like where they meet the jacking points? Is there a pin that goes up in the jack point for positive engagement?
Was there any thing that came w/ the lift that indicates the company that made it or where it was made?

What are the ends like where they meet the jacking points? Is there a pin that goes up in the jack point for positive engagement? Aprox 2"x4" rubber pads.


Here's a link to the manual in PDF format from Harbor's website - has some detailed parts list/drawings... http://www.harborfreight.com/manuals...6999/46604.pdf

You need to have the info on the $2800 two-post lift sitting next to this one. "look how much money I'll save by getting the scissor lift, dear! And it will work for 90% of the undercar stuff!" You'll either get to save the money by getting the scissor, ormaybe she'll see the benefit of having the asym 2-post lift.


Hey, it MIGHT work....

Just wondering - do you first need to jack up the car to gain some clearance to move the lift underneat or does it just roll under from the back of the car? Seems to be a nice lift for the $$.

TIA

Mark,

I just read the .PDF manual - if I read this correctly it folds down to just 3 7/8" of height? I guess tha would fit easily under the car.

I'm thinking so! I already had the car up on jack stands, so I just re-arranged some things and used the lift!

My 951 is a little lower, and I just put 2x10's on either side of the lift and drove her right on over! I intend to just leave the lift on the floor and park over it - I may use the 2x10's too - just to be safe.
